P.2465/1925.
In the Court of His Majesty's Consul-General
Addis Ababa.
Appellant Abdul Kauri Mohamed Baksh.
Respondent The Crown.
Judgment.
In view oi the fact that the trade in cartridges
being openly carried on suggests ignorance of the law,
and of the lack of proof that adequate notice of the
law was given to the appellant, although a warning was
given, and in view of certain irregularities in the
trial which, nevertheless, did not, in the opinion
of the Court, subject the convicted person to undue
prejudice; taking into consideration, moreover, the
expenses already entailed by the appeal, and other
circumstances, the Court, while confirming the con
viction, holds that there are sufficient extenuating
circumstances to justify the reduction of the sentence
to a total fine of one hundred dollars or one month’s
imprisonment.
Given under my hand and seal this sixteenth day
of June, one thousand line hundred and twenty-five.
